ninety-seven. sweet home

They did not get close to the wreck area, strictly speaking, not even close. They only stopped at a distance where the telescope could see the distorted shadow and the outline of the wreck area.

The Twisted Cultists suspended the cleanup scattered in old Belfast, followed the Twisted Shadow, and surrounded the shipwreck area, but did not surround the shipwreck area, leaving a gap in the direction of the Elm Forest.

This is what the Swamp Mother taught him, ensuring that the situation is controllable no matter whether the strange leader and his tribe surrender, are captured, or flee to the silent hills.

The twisted shadow rises with the waves, overlooking the shipwreck area and spreading the atmosphere. Moisture marks wrap around the already damp and cold steel forest, contrasting with the surrounding warm and dry areas under the early morning sun.

A telescope is a good medium for observing strange gods or strange things. It allows the user to observe the situation from a distance without being contaminated by the aura.

But for some unknown reason, the standard equipment of exorcists, night watchmen and investigators in the old days did not include telescopes.

Maybe they worry that looking at them will cause them to notice.

It takes time for the twisted shadow to bewitch the shipwreck area, but weak monsters that are difficult to resist have gradually appeared and transformed into believers, leaving the shipwreck area.

These weirdos usually don't have a happy ending. They are driven to the bay because they do not conform to the aesthetics of Twisted Shadow, and they serve as the pioneer cultivators to clean up the bay and occupy it at the same time.

Lu Li waited here until noon was approaching, and then left the building guarded by the Twisted Cultists and came to the Sailor Block because the businessman Anthony brought back the news that the detective agency had been repaired.

The dilapidated ruins silently tell that the light and shadow of the past are no longer there.

The shaking figures and conversations in the distance gradually became clearer, erasing the sudden loneliness.

Approaching the craftsman who expressed his expectation, Lu Li saw the eye-catching new longhouse.

The edges and corners caused by dryness and weathering were removed from the exterior wall, and it was painted like a new house. Lu Li remained calm and walked into the long corridor where the pungent paint had not faded.

The old floor was removed and replaced with a brand new floor. The washed wall was in the same condition as the exterior wall. Even if it was left in ventilation overnight, the pungent paint smell was not reduced much.

The newly installed brand new wooden door blocks the neighbor's room that has not yet been cleaned.

Walking on the floor that made a crisp sound, Lu Li pushed open the half-open exquisitely carved wooden door.

The door opened silently, and a brand-new detective agency appeared in front of you.

The empty bookshelf is against the wall, the empty desk is against the bookshelf, the couch is placed under the window sill with a flower pot growing wild grass, and the bedroom door is not closed, revealing a corner of the bed.

"Do you like it here?" Mother Swamp whispered.

“Too new.”

Lu Li answered him and the craftsmen who were waiting for praise.

There is no oldness or fading, no time to enrich it... everything is brand new, like a parody of history. Like a seriously injured knight in a dance drama, his armor is shining.

"It's an old longhouse that's been around as long as the old days and the Dark Ages when I moved here."

As Lu Li spoke calmly, the craftsmen realized the mistakes they had made.

"Please give us some more time, we know what to do."

Lu Li had no nostalgia and left the fictional detective agency and returned to the Agate Lake camp.

After cleaning up the slaughterhouse with a much smaller number of weird things, dealing with today's affairs, and asking about the progress of the Twisted Shadow and Swamp Mother, Lu Li didn't leave the lake center island for the entire afternoon. "Ladies' Afternoon Tea" was moved to the lake center island by the Swamp Mother.

Compared to other courtyards, he and Elena preferred this place because of the lawn covering the entire island in the middle of the lake.

After letting the lawn grow around the wooden house and Annie, Lu Li stopped wasting his humanity, but as time went by... or in other words, after Annie consumed all her humanity to grow from a sapling to a big tree, weeds began to grow from every part of the soil on the island in the middle of the lake, except from the entrance to the wooden house.

The two dirt trails to Annie and the wooden bridge remain intact.

Maybe it's because Lu Li lives there, or maybe it's because Annie takes care of them.

Everything went smoothly after solving the whirlpool.

The Swamp Mother communicates with the Ember Zone, the Twisted Shadow bewitches the Shipwreck Zone, and the Twisted Cultists slowly advance into Old Belfast. It seems that they are frightened by the destruction of the Whirlpool, and even Silent Hill does not dare to attack the Twisted in the ruins of the city.

Believers.

At night, before going to bed, businessman Anthony brought back good news: the industrial area has been cleaned up.

Lu Li left the camp and was accompanied by Swamp Mother to the industrial area in the north of old Belfast.

Factory chimneys look like jagged and strange shadows at night. Most of them are intact, but only superficially intact. The machines covered with rust and corrosion are almost unusable.

It still takes a long time to prepare these rusty machines.

Lu Li prioritized visiting the cannery, salt factory and power plant in the industrial zone.

The salt factory is in the best condition, which is related to the fact that it requires seawater to produce salt and is resistant to corrosion; the cannery factory is in a state where it may still be able to operate after removing the rust, scattered bones, and drying the feces; only the power plant has no possibility of renovation, and the motor,

The copper wires have long been covered with rust and age, and unknown monsters once built a nest in the power plant, leaving feces nearly half a meter above the ground outside.

A set of facilities must be replaced to allow electricity to bloom in the promised land again.

Businessman Anthony took the demand list compiled by Lu Li to Weiner Underground City, and Lu Li returned to the island in the middle of the lake to spend a dreamless night.



["Land of Light Tour Guide" is a hot seller in the underground city]

[Love Letter from the Land of Light "Guide to the Land of Light"]

[Sir Ross donated his collection of industrial equipment to the Land of Light]

The renamed "Vina Freeport Morning News" records the news that happened yesterday.

The camp was lucky enough to receive a complete set of power generation equipment from Sir Ross for free, but additional values ​​such as "honor", "prestige", and "favor" were not included.

The "Land of Light Tour Guide" sent to the underground city a month ago has only now made waves in the underground city. It was also sent to Lu Li's desk as a single page in a newspaper.

Lu Li finished taking care of today's affairs in advance, and then came to the Sailor Block at the second invitation from the craftsmen.

The old and faded walls are different from the adjacent dilapidated ones. The windows are covered with a layer of dust. The paint on the floor has peeled off a lot and has been condensed into a dirty dark color by oil stains.

The corridor had an old smell. Lu Li held an oil lamp and stepped on the creaking wooden boards.

squeak

The heart-wrenching wooden door slowly opened.

A bookshelf filled with books and a desk with alarm clock notes neatly placed appeared in front of me.

The drawn curtains blocked the sunlight outside.

"Please leave me alone."

The Swamp Mother could feel the emotions in the words, quietly drifted down, and left the room.

The shaking figures outside the window were pushed away one after another, giving the detective agency and Lu Li enough peace.

Bang.

Lu Li closed the door, took off his windbreaker, hung it on the hanger behind the door, walked around the desk, and sat down in the wooden chair.

In a daze, he heard coughing, crying, and the sound of cooking coming from the corridor, and saw a beautiful white dress lying on the sofa tending potted plants.
